Change in Latitude

 

We headed to Daytona Beach, FL seeking a change in latitude. 

                                              Where is Margaritaville?

We were excited to hook up with my cousin, Mary, and her husband, Kim, who moved from Alaska to Florida just two years ago when they retired from a drilling company in Prudhoe Bay. They are happily settled in the new development called "Latitude Margarataville." We enjoyed a tour of some of the model homes in Margaritaville. It is somewhat similar to a Del Webb community, with single family homes, villas and cottages. This development is huge and even more land is being cleared for more residences.

Kim and Mary took us to see how Daytona Beach has grown and expanded over the years since we had last been here. Lots of restaurants and high rise hotels.  Margaritaville even has a property on the beach where you can be bussed for the day.  

NASA successfully launched SpaceX from Cape Canaveral.  We initially saw the sky light up above the trees, then followed the rocket until we lost it in the clouds.

        Your eyes would get tired looking at the inventory at Barberville, a huge 

collection of pottery in every shape and size.  We had fun posing with some familiar faces.
